The American Council on Exercise (aka Cedric X. Bryant, CEO at the American Council of Exercise), has suggested that you can train to become stronger at these common daily movements. Split up your workout sessions by these complementary muscle groups can give the opposing muscle groups more time to rest and recover, helping to balance your strength routine and reduce fatigue. Push-pull workouts are a type of resistance (or strength) training, with push exercises engaging the muscles as they move weight towards the body, pushing or pulling it towards the chest, shoulders, and the triceps. Common push workouts include those involving the back, biceps, glutes and hamstrings. Make one of your current upper body or lower body workouts a Push-Pull focus, giving it a push-pull focus. Alexander Rothstein, Ed.D., assistant professor of exercise science at New York Institute of Technology’s School of Health Professions, suggests combining push and pull exercises in a balanced full-body workout two or three times per week.
